Wemby Silences The Garden! Spurs Break Knicks' Streak in a Game 3 Thriller
Updated: June 9, 2026 • 4 min read
The New York Knicks were riding a historic 13-game win streak, but Victor Wembanyama just reminded the world that the future arrives on his timeline.
In a fiercely contested, tempers-flaring battleground at Madison Square Garden, the San Antonio Spurs edge out the Knicks 115-111, snapping New York’s 46-day undefeated run and cutting the Finals deficit to 2-1.
| Team | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Final |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAS | 33 | 24 | 35 | 23 | 115 |
| NYK | 22 | 42 | 27 | 20 | 111 |
The Flashpoints You Need to Know:
- Wemby’s Statement: The 7ft 4in alien dropped a masterclass with 32 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks, utterly anchoring the second-half defense.
- The Drama: Things boiled over early when Wembanyama and Jalen Brunson tangled, with social media melting down over an uncalled shove to the head that analysts flagged as a missed Flagrant 1.
- Foul Trouble Fiasco: Brunson was cooking with 20 points but picked up a devastating 4th personal foul in the 3rd quarter, stalling the Knicks' offensive engine.
- The Rookie Clutch: Stephon Castle stepped up massive with 23 points, knocking down cold-blooded shots late to keep the Knicks at bay.
"New York still holds the 2-1 driver's seat, but the momentum shifted heavily in the second half. Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges combined for just 4 points post-halftime—a gap the Knicks cannot afford to repeat in Game 4."
